Metaphorsbwithu - Holy-one-cajole-ie. They may as well have a music czar. Then they could play musical czar's while we wait on those beureaucraps to publish our parodies. Let's hope they don't amiWRITE us off. I like this parody. Of course it does not have GSA approval so I'd tread lightly there Forsby. And I got yer 5's right here.

Well written. Can we get some govt. bailout money?

Thanks, Guy. Yes. Don't worry. I'm used to looking over my shoulder. And the scary part is, this isn't too far away from reality ... IMHO. "AmiWRITE us off - very good! Thanks Timmy1000! Bailout money? I'd imagine "some' of us might qualify. Maybe we should have a vote to see how many people would support the nationalization of amiright and the surrender of its operation to a bureaucratic panel! :-D

Here are three 5s...they're not rationed yet. ;D

Our worst nightmare! ... and a tip: Since you really need only two syllables in the last word of the opening lines, "As I write this letter", then either elide (look that up in your funk 'n wagnalls) "par'dy", with the apostrophe indicating the eiision, OR, "much* better, use "satire".

"Satire", like "tire" itself, is one of those "fielder's choice" words that can be either two syllables or three as needed. IMHO , "this satire" isn't very euphonic or easy to sing, due to the doubled "S" sounds from end of one to beginning of other, and sort of ends up sounding like "this satyr". So my choice to pace perfectly is: "As I write satires" -- problem solved, paces perfectly, stresses (accents) are identical to OS -- nails it.

Way to tiny a nit to dock a point for such an excellent concept, and FWIW,
a) I'm my own harshest critic, far more stringent than with anyone else, and
b) I take the time only with writers who I think are worth it. I think you're worth it.

Tommy, I have noticed you can be quite the critic! (I meant that in a good way). As a matter of fact, I met you here when you criticized my mortgages parody, which, IMHO, sucked. You're certainly a great writer, and I don't see how you could criticize yourself. And to metaphorsbwithu, this was a great parody, and you get the DJ Blaze Seal Of Approval and 5s.

Thanks for the criticism TT. Yes, I was aware of the extra syllable but it was a slippery one and I figured an actual singer would phrase it properly and it wasn't that offensive, even as is. I actually do try not only to get the syllables right but the meter too ... which, as you know, can be quite difficult. I always cringe when I hear songs that have way too many syllables or awkward meter and, for that reason, have always appreciated good tight writing. That said, your comments are much appreciated. :-)

Thanks much DJ. Lets hope it remains satire, okay? :-D

Thanks! Good one, OMR! I wonder how the "pros' on this site would feel if a "redistibution board" insisted they share some of their 5's with beginners and/orthe more musically- challenged.

Just gives ya the shivers, don't it? Save me a seat on the bus to camp! ;)

Don't even think such thoughts!

+1000 cocktails to you and George Orwell.

Fiddlegirl: You'll be driving. I'll be shivering. John Barry: I know ... if you can think it, they will try to do it. ;-) LSUFreek: I loved the "M" billboard parody. I had to look twice. :-D http://www.everydayshouldbesaturday.com/2009/08/26/mustache-wednesday-part-two-mcoy/
